Details:
The Crosby-Gannett Fund was established at the Vermont Community Foundation in 2009 with the assets of the Crosby Foundation, which was dissolved in December 2008.
The Crosby Foundation was founded in December 1951 by Charles R. Crosby, a native of Brattleboro, to help serve community needs in the broader Brattleboro area. The name Gannett was added to the Fund in 2012 by the Advisory Committee to honor Senator Robert T. Gannett who had guided the Crosby Foundation as Secretary-Treasurer for more than 50 years.
To help address the impact of COVID-19, the Crosby-Gannett Fund will focus its grantmaking in 2022 on the needs amplified by the pandemic that have been inadequately addressed by public relief funds. The Fund is temporarily accepting requests for general operating support from small and/or severely impacted nonprofits. Priority will be given to organizations located in the immediate Brattleboro area.
Funding Information
Grants will range from $250 to $2,500.
Eligibility Criteria
